James Owens' stunning valediction, both for and forbidding mourning, slices with steely memory to the wet bone. Stumbling with a boy's ignorant gravity, Owens cannot right the unbalanced accounts of his miner father's sooty lungs, his parents' exhausted marriage--nor his own professed failings. Yet his keen eye in and of the natural world does lead to the scales balanced, if precariously--in belonging on the brief earth, in parsing spring from grief, in the good story of the body whose light becomes the shine of spirit. A master poet works this crescent blade, a master who embraces life's whole catastrophe as equally as he farewells it past. --Linda Parsons, author of This Shaky Earth
